489 West Shore Road, Isle La Motte, VT, 05463
About This Home
Classic pre Civil War two story home sitting on the shores of Lake Champlain. This five bedroom, two bath home boasts over 200' of broad west facing lake frontage on the island of Isle La Motte offering blazing sunsets and beautiful vistas of the Adirondack Mountains. The beach is mostly sand and provides a nice gentle access to the water. The home features a three car garage and sits on over an acre of land. This home has been loved and cherished by the same family for nearly fifty years. The difficult decision has been made to pass it on to a new owner to form their own cherished memories. Located minutes from St. Anne's Shrine and the Lakewood Links Golf Club. Just over an hour's drive from Montreal and Burlington. An amazing location for seasonal or year round living!
